Loving the stay at home mum life - Real Mum story on MoM

13 Comments

Our little princess is now 7 months old, where has the time gone?! It honestly still feels like yesterday we were bundling her up and taking her home from the hospital.

I was ment to return to work in February but my baby refused to take a bottle or sippy cup which really didn’t leave me many options with going back to work.
At first I thought how are we going to suvive on one wage but amazing enough we don’t want for anything and our baby has all that she needs. I am glad now that I have been able to stay home with my little girl and enjoy every moment of watching her grow and experiencing her firsts.

I know if I had of gone back to work I would have adjusted to that too but I am glad that different circumstances have given me the oppertutiny to enjoy our little wonder.

I have been very lucky to stay at home with my now 4 year old and it’s been great with my older three kids I went back to work so have really enjoyed this special time I have had with my last child.

Its lovely (and lucky) that you could stay home a little longer with your baby. Often women have to rush back to work for financial reasons, but when you can manage it is great to be home with them.

It’s great that you can stay at home and enjoy bubs. They grow so fast. It feels like just yesterday my 8 year old boy was your bubs age. I wish I could have been to so many more things with my son at his school, but I work full time and not really by choice. Enjoy it for as long as you can

We are totally stretching our budget to the limits so that I can stay home with our little one. Nearly two and becoming a little terror but some days I just think how awesome it is

Fortunately, I never returned to work after having my children. I am one of the lucky ones.

  It does work differently for everyone – different ways for different families.

If you can make ends meet spend as much time as you can with your gorgeous bundle. I went back after 9 months with my first and 2 months with my 2nd and miss them everyday I am at work. They just grow up way too fast.
